Genomics Resource Center - Lisa DeShong Sadzewicz
In 2008, Lisa joined IGS as Administrative Director of the Genomics Resource Center (GRC). Over the past 16 years, she has developed extensive experience with sequencing and genomic technologies, including managing and scheduling large-scale genomic research projects. Prior to joining the GRC, she was the Operations Director for the Biopolymer Genomics Core Facility (BGCF) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Lisa's efforts supported the research of more than 250 UMSOM and external principal investigators per year. During that period, she worked with DNA sequencing and synthesis, microarray analysis and genome wide association studies. Lisa received two different patents for her research work with BRCA1, and susceptibility mutations for breast and ovarian cancer. Here at the GRC, the team combines their expertise of a large sequencing center with the genome project management and customization options of an academic center.
